Of course, if you just go with the FMS props, they come with the Hamilton Standard decals already applied.

The $202 USD in MA may be applicable to a price chg for new USA stock but at this point in time is an advertising farce as HK will not ship individual orders to the US.

Very nice touch of realism. Very scale like.

FMS props made it in today and they look GREAT! Nice and stiff! (that's what she said) Can't wait to try them out!

Nearest I can tell, On the down-wind leg of my approach, I must have llost my left outboard motor. She spiraled in near some houses. It was far enough away that I had to drive to get to where it went down. By the time I got there... Plane was gone and "nobody saw anything". Total loss.

but a great flying model

Rather than stack up some washers I used some of my many APCE inserts -- just can't throw them away!

Hope they're not to thick.

You have all my simpathy. There seems to be no end to what people will do to inflict gratuitous misery on others. I can personally attest to this after 25 years duty with the police.

I saw where it went down. I talked to a cat lady who blatantly told me that if she finds it she's going to keep it. My suspicion is that she DID find it and took it in and put it with her stash of baseballs, frisbees, footballs, and soccer balls that she's likely collected from the neiborhood kids over the years. "Those darn kids!". I guess she's teaching me a lesson.

If I were you I'd ask the local cops to have a quiet chat with this 'cat lady'. More than likely they already know her fairly well.

One of the neighbors had a talk with the cat lady and convinced her to give me the plane/wreckage. I went by and it was sitting in front of her house in a cardboard box. At least I got the electronics and the pieces. Not that I'll be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together, but that's better than a total loss.

if you have all the parts --- they are foam and most times fixable

my C-415 fryed a esc on it's very short maiden flight

everyone said --- its done

but it wasn't its foam and with a little work it's amazing what you can
do

I was able to repair and fly it again --
